Upcoming Events in Dungog

Paterson is one of the historic towns of Dungog Shire in the Hunter Valley, 18 kilometres north of Maitland. This small, picturesque village has a mountain backdrop by the Paterson River. Once a busy river port, today Paterson offers a relaxing break offering cafes, old country pubs, and cosy accommodation. John Tucker Park has perfect picnic spots, barbeques, amenities and a playground for the kids. When planning your Hunter itinerary, why not include a trip to Paterson? Don't miss Tocal Homestead, an impressive Regency mansion set among fig trees overlooking the Paterson River. If you're interested in local history, the Paterson Historical Court House Museum and Paterson Rail Motor Museum are well worth a visit. From Paterson, you can also set out on other adventures in the area, including Dungog and the Barrington Tops National Park, which is a stone's throw away.
